Louisiana Man Released After Nearly Three Decades on Death Row

August 16, 2026

Jimmie Duncan, a Louisiana man, has gained his freedom after spending nearly three decades on death row. Multiple judges have since concluded that the murder for which he received his conviction did not occur.

Duncan's release followed the emergence of video evidence. This evidence, which jurors did not see during his initial trial, played a role in the judges' conclusions, according to reports from NBC News' Dan Slepian.
